Noonbarra Tsyzu was named by Dave after the
great Australian boxing champion, Kostya Tsyzu. (Pronounced: Kosta Zoo) He was a big friendly gentle pup in the
litter.

"He looks great, very healthy and
happy. thank you for the photos we are very excited to see him.
his name will be Tsyzu pronounced "ZOO", as in Kostya Tsyzu Australia’s
greatest ever boxer, and very nice humble man. Thanks again speak to you soon."

" A quick
message to say Tsyzu is going great!!!!. He slept at my feet most of the way
home with a toilet stop or two. This is his third day in his new house and he is
settling in great. He has met the whole family and a few dogs. Everyone loves
him.

He is already sitting on command, and stays
as well at a distance of about 10m. sometimes needs a little persistence. He has
a fantastic nature just like you said.

Tsyzu has settled in great, he is all
ready really attached to me. I take him everywhere I go he gets excited soon as
he hears the car keys. He has just learnt to shake hands, and when he's not pre
occupied he knows sit, stay and down. I weighed him today and he is already
5kgs.

Steve mentioned having a page for Noonbarra Tsyzu to tell people on your website
about my experience. I’m keen, if you could give me some more details.
Thank you again talk soon Dave & Steff.

Hi Mary & Steve

I just want let you to know how young Tszyu is going. He is so full of energy
and loves life. He already runs along side my bike at quite a moderate pace, and
he likes
the exercise. He comes in the car with us nearly everywhere, and when he hears
the car keys he gets very excited, even if he doesn't get out at the destination
he's just happy to come anyway.

NOONBARRA
LOUISE

Noonbarra Roy III X Noonbarra Sarah

Owned by Mary Ellen and Michael Black -
Cairns Queensland

Red & Tan Female Born: 4th June 2004

Noonbarra Louise was from the same litter as
Tsyzu and Skipper who also went as companion Kelpies. Others in this litter that
you can read about on this site are Mark, Del and Brooke who went to working
homes and Matilda III who went for Flyball competition.

Louise is living on a orchid near Cairns in
far north Queensland and has Bill the Whippet as her playmate.

"A quick update on
Lou. She has settled in really well ... Bill has slowly started to acknowledge
her presence, but in the beginning he was trying to ignore her -Lou's
persistence wore him down and they are starting to play together. Bill even put
up with her on his bed for at least 5 minutes today before she decided it was
time to play.

She is extremely
bright (cheeky), happy, affectionate and confident. Her tail wags all the
time. House training is not a problem and she alerts us during the night when
she needs to go outside.

We had some cows
escape from a paddock tonight and I carried Lou with me while heading them off.
She was initially curious and then a little worried. We have paddocks next to
our house and I am a little concerned she may go in with the cows so I
discretely watch her all the time she is outside.

We went down the water
hole on the weekend. Bill loves to swim. Lou decided to follow him straight in,
we were ready for a rescue but she splashed to shore and kept well away
afterwards. She has also discovered that ants love bones left on the lawn.

She is great in the
car. We harness her and Bill in the back seat and she has fallen asleep every
time we have gone out - Bill is not so well behaved.

Michael asked me to
mention that he really liked the file you sent. In particular the specific
behaviours of kelpies. We are really enjoying her antics and love her heaps.

Thanks

Just some photos of Lou at
home with Bill the whippet. She has settled in well. Puppy classes start next
week. She is already walking well on the lead and sits, just for food at the
moment. She has also learnt to ring a bell when she needs to go outside - very
clever girl. Will keep in touch.

SEPT 2004

Just a quick update on her progress. She is a sheer
delight. Is wonderful around the house - only had 3 'accidents' since we got her
and now rings a bell we have hanging on the door when she needs to get out.

She has been to two puppy training classes and is
quite the star. She's sitting, dropping and waiting really well. Started some
more formal lead work this week and she completely wears me out she is so eager
to be off. I wouldn't normally push a young pup too hard on obedience because I
don't want to train the 'eagerness' out of her, but she is lapping it up and is
obviously enjoying all the one on one attention.

She is fine with the cattle. She likes to watch them.

------------------------------

Thought I would just drop you a line to let you know
everything is going good with noonbarra Louise she is a delight to have. We
started obedience with the Cairns dog club but they are closed now for Christmas
she was catching on very quickly with the training….
